How Do You Control Magazine Clutter?

Magazines are a great source of inspiration. The problem is that they usually come once a month and those stacks of subscriptions can easily turn into clutter. To deal with the clutter issue, we limit our subscriptions and buy off-the-rack in rotation...sometimes Domino, sometimes Dwell, every once in a while a copy of Real Simple. We clip our favorite images and save them in a 3-ring binder.

When we first started doing this, we were surprised at how much it helped to define our style. Not only did we unclutter our apartment, we also distilled all those glossy photos into a few that spoke to us. Now, whenever we need a little inspiration from decorating mags, we have everything in one spot.
